Trouble Stirs...
[ACTION; IN AN ABANDONED BUILDING ON SIROCCO'S OUTSKIRTS 5 DAYS AGO]
"Junk... junk... junk..."
Not all people who explore the ruins in the world aim to remember. Some, particularly the lower class of residents, head towards the many parts of the city currently abandoned, hoping that some items of value have been left behind in the seventy year gap since the Vanishing. Occasionally, people get lucky; for the most part, however, all that's left are useless knick-knacks, if that. Some buildings lack even any copper wiring that had been present anymore.
Still, hope springs eternal. The young looter continues rummaging through the dusty desks and drawers of the abandoned office building, hoping for something of worth -- even just a little money to fund his, well, habits.
Something moves out of the corner of his eye. He stiffens and turns around. Nothing.
He goes back to it, but again senses someone else is there with him. Damnit, this is his claim. "Hey! I know you're there, asshole. I got dibs on this building, so find your own damn place to loot, got it?" he yells out.
Nothing responds. He grows annoyed. "I'm warning you! If I catch you trying to take anything good, I'm kicking your ass! I got this place right now!" He pulls out a pocket knife. "So I'm giving you one last chance to get the hell out, pal!"
More silence. And then...

[TRANSCRIPT; FROM A CALL TO SAFE PRESERVES SECURITY'S CALL CENTER 4 DAYS AGO]
GUARD: Call center, come in! I need backup! I need backup now!
CC: This is Graham speaking. What's the situation?
GUARD: I need someone to help! Anyone! Please!
CC: Sir, calm down and tell us what the situation is.
GUARD: I... This building, they've been having me guard it for years! I can usually handle the shit that moves in, but this one's really bad!
CC: Is it a monster, sir? We can contact Monster Control --
GUARD: No! I mean, yes! It's a monster or something! But I can usually handle that stuff! But this thing, it's... I dunno, big, and blue, and it shouldn't be as freaky looking as it is, but -- I tried shooting it, headshots and everything, and it barely even flinched!
CC: This sounds serious, sir. We can probably get --
GUARD: Wha -- *sound of a crunch*
CC: Sir? Sir, are you there? Sir?
GUARD: *Silence. And then, briefly, the sound of crunching, like teeth crushing a device, and the line goes dead.*
[ACTION]
*Gradually, similar incidents occurred; some people were lucky enough to escape and tell the tale. Alerts are given on a daily basis over the PDAs warning adventurers away from certain buildings due to highly durable and vicious blue monsters showing up in various abandoned parts of town.
Hiroshi stares at the latest alerts, his face even paler than it is normally.*
((OOC: Starting from this post, Ao Onis are beginning to crop up within the city limits. Abandoned buildings have a high chance of an Oni or two being present, and the longer they've been there the harder it is to leave due to their strange love of puzzles and locks. Feel free to have people discuss the outbreak, or meet it first hand. Hiroshi is here, but feel free to talk with other characters in this post too.))
